Abstract:Quinean disquotationalism is criticized by Davidson together with other deflationary theories including the redundancy views. Appealing to Tarski’s work on truth, Davidson thinks that all theories following deflationary approach could not catch the nature of truth. Although Quinean disquotationalism is closely related to Tarski’s work and usually methodologically regarded as a kind of deflationary theory, Quine tells more than Tarski’s Truth Schema (TS). Moreover, Quine’s concept of truth embodies empirical content. The endorsement of the fundamentality of Equivalence Schema (ES), instead of only (ES), should be taken as the heart of deflationism. Therefore, Quinean disquotationalism is not a version of deflationism in the light of a deflated account of deflationism.
